first embodiment

[0039]FIG. 1 is a view illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of an information processing system 100 of the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing system 100 includes an MFP 1, a web server 2, and an application server 3 which are connected to each other through a network 8. Note that for convenience of description, only one MFP 1 is illustrated as an example of a device included in the information processing system 100 in FIG. 1, but it is not limited thereto. The number of devices included in the information processing system 100 and a kind of the devices are arbitrarily determined.

[0040]The web server 2 provides, to the MFP 1, an application list screen (may be referred to as “app store” in the following description) in which a command to display an installation screen for installation of each application is associated with that application. Detail contents will be described later. In this example, an application to provide a funct...

second embodiment

[0084]Next, the second embodiment will be described. A description of a part common to the above-described first embodiment is appropriately omitted. FIG. 13 is a view illustrating an example of a functional configuration of an MFP 1 of the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the MFP 1 further includes a third storage unit 121. The third storage unit 121 stores first destination information indicating a country or region where the MFP 1 is used (“used” is a concept including “sold”).

[0085]Also, in the present embodiment, second association information stored in a second storage unit 118 is information in which application server identification information is associated with each combination of application identification information and first destination information. FIG. 14 is a view illustrating an example of the second association information in the present embodiment. In FIG. 14, “JP” indicates Japan, “US” indicates the United States, and “CN” indicates China. When rec...

third embodiment

[0086]Next, the third embodiment will be described. A description of a part common to the above-described first embodiment is appropriately omitted. In the present embodiment, a second display unit 117 of an MFP 1 displays a reporting screen indicating that control to install an application cannot be executed when the MFP 1 is in a state in which the control to install the application cannot be executed exclusively (state in which processing speed of CPU, memory capacity, or the like (resource) necessary for control to install the application cannot be secured). FIG. 15 is a view illustrating an example of the reporting screen.

[0087]FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of an operation procedure of an information processing system 100 of the present embodiment. Since contents of processing in step S31 to step S49 illustrated in FIG. 16 are similar to contents of processing in step S1 to step S19 illustrated in FIG. 12, a detailed description thereof is omitted. After...

Abstract

An information processing device includes: an authentication unit configured to compare, when receiving first user information used for authentication processing of determining whether a user has authority to use the information processing device, the first user information with second user information identifying users having the authority to use the information processing device, and execute the authentication processing; a first storage unit storing first association information in which installation screen information identifying an installation screen for installation of an application is associated with each piece of the second user information; and a second display unit configured to generate, based on a command associated with an application selected by a user among an application displayed by a first display unit, an installation screen identified by installation screen information which is associated with second user information identifying the user, and display the installation screen.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to and incorporates by reference the entire contents of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-235914 filed in Japan on Nov. 20, 2014 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-111613 filed in Japan on Jun. 1, 2015.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, and an information processing method.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Conventionally, a system to download and install an application from a web page provided by a web server has been known.[0006]For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2011-237881, a configuration in which an MFP downloads and installs software while working together with a distribution server, which distributes the software, is disclosed.[0007]However, in a technique disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2011-...
